MLB announces some rule changes

... and seemingly no one picks up on it.

Major League Baseball published a press release this past Friday detailing new rules that are being put into place. Among the changes are how tie games called due to weather are handled, the scoring of errors, the addition of an appeal process for scorer decisions, pitchers must have recorded one out to be credited with a save, and a minimum plate appearances rule to qualify for the on-base percentage title.

While nothing major was announced, it's just surprising that baseball made an announcement like this and it didn't get much of a reaction. I just expected a little more coverage of this since it happens so rarely.
